Good for your memory

There is a simple way to better remember details.

Eyes closed
If you close your eyes, it's easier to remember things. In a study where participants had to remember details from a movie, the group with their eyes closed scored 23 percent better.

How is that possible?
The explanation sounds logical:with your eyes closed you are less distracted by the environment, making it easier to remember details.
